Steps:
- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Rinse the chicken and dry with paper towels; rub vegetable oil over the entire chicken, inside and out. Pour liquid smoke flavoring into the can of beer and add the garlic clove. Set the chicken upright in a grill pan with the beer can inserted into the cavity. Season outside of skin with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic salt, gently rubbing the seasonings into the oiled chicken skin. Place the potato into the neck cavity to seal in steam and cover potato with the flap of neck skin. Secure the skin to the potato with a toothpick.
- Place chicken upright on the hot grill and grill until chicken is no longer pink inside and the skin is crisp, about 2 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

CAJUN SMOKED BEER CAN CHICKEN
This is the best chicken that I have ever had! I purchased a Big Green Egg Smoker and was looking for new recipes and discovered this. I found the recipe on the website The Smoker King (smokerking.com). I think the key part of this recipe is the injection. It makes the chicken so tender and juicy. The chicken is injected with a butter mixture. Leave it to me to find the only unhealthy recipe for chicken on the internet!

Steps:
- Directions:
- 1. Whisk all injection ingredients together.
- 2. Using a kitchen syringe, inject the liquid into various spots on the chicken. Try to be even as possible, injecting about 1/2 of the mixture into the breasts, and the other 1/2 throughout the rest of the chicken.
- 3. Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Tony's Cajun Seasoning to the bird.
- 4. Drink half of the beer, widen the opening at the top of the can, then put the garlic and onion in the can.
- 5. Place the bird on the can. It should sit up by itself. You may have to prop the legs forward to make it sit up.
- 6. Preheat your smoker to about 250 F degrees. I use hickory for chicken; charcoal works well too.
- 7. Mix the mop ingredients in the spray bottle and shake before each use.
- 8. Put the chicken on the smoker and spray the chicken with the mop about every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
- 8. Smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest meat reaches 175 F Degrees.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken well inside an out.
- Pat bird completely dry with paper towels.
- To make the rub: mix 4 tbsp paprika, 2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp black pepper, 2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a small bowl and set it aside.
- To make glaze: mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 4 tbsp ketchup, 3 tsp frank's red hot sauce, 4 tbsp white vinegar, 4 tbsp beer (save remainder in can and set it aside), and 2 tbsp of the spice rub you just made in a separate bowl; set aside.
- Pour beer can out (or drink it down) until it is just a bit over half way full and then add crushed bay leaves and 1 tsp of rub to the half full can.
- Loosen the skin on the breasts, legs and thighs of your chicken.
- Massage the rub into the meat under the skin and then all over the outside of the bird's skin as well as inside the cavity.
- Place beer can in the "butt" of the bird making the bird stand upright.
- Preheat grill with all burners on high until grill is heated and ready to cook.
- You must cook indirectly; so if you have 2 burners on your grill, turn one off (for 3 burners turn 1 off, for 4 burners turn 2 off, etc.).
- Place the standing bird on the cooler or "off" burner side of the grill with the breasts facing the hot or "on side of it (you grill should remain at about 375 degrees during the entire cooking process).
- Close lid and cook for 30 minutes, then rotate bird so that the opposite side (the back) is not facing the heated side of the grill and then continue cooking with the lid closed for 30 more minutes.
- Rotate bird back to original position with breasts facing the heat and glaze the entire bird thoroughly with the pre-made glaze; continue cooking 30 more minutes until cooked, brown and slightly crisped.
- Transfer chicken carefully off of beer can and onto cutting board.
- Let rest 5-10 minutes and then carve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose a beer that complements the flavor of the chicken. For example, a light beer will produce a mild flavor, while a dark beer will impart a more robust flavor.
- Make sure the chicken is well-seasoned before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Smoke the chicken at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to produce tender, juicy meat.
- Use a drip pan to catch the drippings from the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the drippings every 30 minutes or so. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help to ensure that the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
